Wedge Fractures

Wedge Fractures and broken vertabrae, commonly known as compression fractures in the spine are typically associated with a sudden onset of back pain, an increase in pain intensity when standing or walking, and limited spinal mobility.

Loss of disc height may also be an indicator of a spinal fracture. Treatment for a spinal fracture involves a kyphoplasty, and up to six weeks of bracing to ensure a solid bond.
